"Amrit was annoyed with his family members as they were against his marriage with a girl of his choice. He murdered them with sharp-edged weapons and a licensed pistol of his father," Harbhajan Singh, a police officer, said.

"He was arrested late Thursday. Earlier, he said he had gone to his college in Patiala at the time of the incident. But during rigorous questioning, he broke down and confessed to the crime," he said.
"In the post-mortem report, bullets have been found in the skulls of three deceased," he added.
